The Coast

02/09/2010 in snapshots

I turned in my first assignment on Sunday and it revolved around the theme of “Your neighborhood as a special place”. I shot a ton of pictures, and I think these two are the best of the bunch.

Photo 51 Assignment #1

These photos were taken in Daly City, a little town south of San Francisco. I grew up there, and the two things I love most about D.C. are the ticky-tacky houses and the fact that it’s right next to the Pacific Ocean. My classmates will critique these photos. I’m looking forward to hearing how I can improve these shots.

Love the fun bright houses in the second shot.

I LOVE the second picture!!! I’m a big fan of lines and symmetry in pictures so the second definitely caters to my tastes! :)

The second photo caught my eye first, but I choose the first one as my fav. It looks random, but everything is actually there where it should be. It’s like an art piece of daily life. Gosh, it’s hard to explain what I wanna say in English. Hope you understood.

These photos are great! You’ve captured so much detail, both in the foreground and in the distance. The clouds are quite incredible.

Your photos are gorgeous, especially the second one. I think this is a great idea for a photo assignment… I should try it next time I go home to Cupertino. Cupertino is not the most exciting place in the world, but maybe I’ll be able to look at it with fresh eyes now that I’ve been living away for so long!
